Join us for the 13th annual Northampton Ice Art Festival in downtown Northampton! A family-friendly winter tradition, the Northampton Ice Art Festival brings featured ice artists to the streets of downtown Northampton, allowing the public to watch them as they create temporal works of art which will culminate in the public display of the final sculptures during a new downtown Northampton Winter Festival, coinciding with the Ice Art Festival.
Winterfest will be a winter party at Pulaski Park with tents for folks to get out of the cold while enjoying a walk around town to enjoy the Ice Art sculptures being created throughout the day. There will be tents outfitted with hot chocolate, winter craft activities for families, music, dancing and karaoke and roasting S’mores. There will also be a Winter[BREW]fest Bar Crawl following.
Carving begins in the early morning hours; bundle up and head out to watch as they work throughout the day. Maps will be provided at artist locations, as well as online and at various downtown venues.
